How wide is the wheel? you will probably be safe with a +50 offset no matter what the width, as long as it's not an abnormally wide wheel, like above 8.5". The drop is all about personal taste in looks and ride comfort. there's plenty of info on both in this section of the forum if you just look through the threads for a while.

would 8" wide be perfect? or would it stick out a lil? also, i see 350z with wider rear tires and it just makes the car look even sweeter. how would having wider rear wheels look on our cls?

Some people do wider tires in the rear, but not wider wheels. On FWD that would just be wierd.

Check out the pics at the link in my sig below. I have a 7.5" wheel with a +50 offset. So if you had an 8" wide wheel it would stick out about .25" further than mine. You might also have rare rubbing issues if you drop it as far as mine.
